      Woman already comfortable with you is fine with you having a knife. Shocking.

      Try pulling one out with what is essentially a stranger half your weight with no witnesses.

        She carried knives before we met, owned pistols and went shooting a lot (we still shoot a ton after being married for nearly 20 years). She is about as progressive and feminist as they come. Assuming that you understand that not all women are fragile and scared. Plenty of them grew up without fear, but independence and stong will. It seems to be only recently that people are becoming fearful of everything. Social media has really driven people to think the world is super dangerous, when it’s literally the safest time in human history.
